(Get the code!)
I like the the idea of a side pane that can group the different windows together. It may additionally require a redesign of the other tabs due to the decreased horizontal space as you showed with your search mockup.
One of the questions I have is whether the single instance windows like public hubs, favorite hubs, etc. (in contrast to non-single instance windows like search, hub, pm, etc.) will always be present in the side pane or whether they disappear from the side pane when they are closed? And if they are always present (i.e. not closable), do they always stay in memory once opened? And in that case wouldn't it be confusing to have some of the items in the side pane that are closable and some that are not?
Razzloss, what do you think about the side pane? Or anyone else have any input on this since this is a pretty major UI change?
